Love that there's a thread for 50+ chicks! I'm a little late for setting year end goals. However, I participated in a weight loss challenge my boss offered that concluded on December 17th. I came in third, losing 21 pounds in 3 months. I won a day off with pay and $150, which was super cool! I really didn't give it my all…

I agree, so when it's raining or cold outside, I go to Sam's Club and walk on the left side of the store only (the non-food section).

Thank you! I'm back in remission and have just recently stopped taking the meds. That feels great!

[/quote] I'd consider you a success story; success doesn't necessarily mean that you set a goal and then you achieve it straight away. It means learning about yourself, growing as a person, learning acceptance, developing patience and mostly perseverance. Success is as much about the journey and it is important to realise…

Wow! You're a phenom and an inspiration!!! <3

I wish I could say I reached my goal and everything was fabulous, but that wasn't the case. I posted this today, in the motivation section... I don't consider myself a success story, but I'm hopeful that sharing my success and failure will help someone else. It has certainly helped me reading others' stories. I started…

Wonderful!!! You are so right about getting your mind right. It's one link in this that can't be missing!

Well done! I know you feel fantastic!!!

What an amazing job! You must feel like a million bucks!

Wow! So proud of you, Dan! I started at 362 and have lost 118, so I know the hard work and dedication it's taken to get where you are today. Keep up the great work! You look amazing and I know you feel amazing!

Aren't you glad you didn't do yourself in because now look where you are? It's only going to get better for you from here. Congratulations on your accomplishments!!!

Thanks so much for sharing your pics! You did an amazing job and I know you feel fantastic because it's written all over your face.

You're doing terrific! Keep it up and you'll get to your goal.

Exactly! You look FABULOUS!!! I can't wait to see more pics of you in the future!

Thank you all so much for your kind words!!!

Well, since my thread got resurrected, I guess I can give an update. My last weigh in was 11/15 and I'm now down a total of 113 lbs. I catch glimpses of myself in mirrors or tinted windows and it sometimes freaks me out because I'm not used to looking so different. And even better news...I got a job! I start December 1st…

Last Thanksgiving, I took a 10 day vacation and went home to Massachusetts. This is not a trip we make often and there is very little good Italian food in the south, so I ENJOYED food during my trip! However, instead of pigging out, I ate normal (which were small to me) portions of food. I felt like I ate a ton of food,…

I do weights for 90 minutes a day and cardio for 60. Even though cardio burns more calories for time invested, if I had to drop one, I'd definitely drop the cardio. I've lost 106 and have 96 to go.

I second that emotion. The only thing I'd add is drink at least half your weight in ounces of water every day.

Hell yeah it's daunting! It was daunting when I started, I've lost over 100 lbs. and it's daunting now that I have 95 left to lose! It's daunting, scary, and the best thing you will ever do for yourself and your loved ones. So be encouraged that we're all here with you, facing the same crap, making the same changes, and in…

Excellent! I can't wait to join you in Onederland!

Bravo!!!

Left 362 lbs. - Right 256 lbs.

Thank you all so much!!! For anyone who's interested, my nephew has still not been found. :confounded:

Well done! You're looking fabulous!

Holy crap! You have made an amazing transformation! I admire your hard work and the sacrifice it took to get where you are! Thanks for sharing!

Well done!!!

Wow! What a difference 100 days makes! Great job!!!

Thank you all so much!!!!

Thanks! I just bought it on clearance for $20 and it's a size 18. I used to wear 4X.
